Still scoring: FG gives Ducks 49-14 lead
A 30-yard field goal has extended Oregon's lead to 49-14, a margin that would be the Bulls' worst since a 42-3 loss to Arkansas in 2002 if it holds up.
Quarterback Matt Grothe has been knocked out of the game after a helmet-to-helmet hit, with backup Grant Gregory taking the field for the last two possessions. One more score for the Ducks and it'll be the worst loss in USF history; three more points and it'll match the most points allowed ever by USF.
The Sun Bowl is the second-oldest bowl around, going back 74 years, and USF has allowed Oregon to break the rushing record (by 67 yards, no less), tie the passing touchdown record (four) and come within four points of the all-time scoring record. And there's still 11 minutes to play. ...


Times sportswriter Greg Auman, who covers USF, will post news and thoughts on the Bulletin and we invite your participation in the comments area.
This could hardly me more humiliating for USF and Tampa. I expct the entire team and coaching staff will return with a well though out apology.

I like you you keep using the word "allowed"...sort of makes it sound like they had a choice in the matter. The Ducks took it from them and without much of a fight either....allowed, funny.

The words "pathetic" and "embarassing" come quickly to mind.
